Trump's attorney general pick Pam Bondi faces scrutiny over donor influence and legal decisions

rawstory.com

Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Attorney General, has a history of favoring big donors over prosecuting potential lawbreakers. Critics highlight her record as Florida's attorney general, where she reportedly prioritized fundraising and halted investigations into campaign contributors. One notable case involved Bondi's decision to stop investigating Trump's "Trump University" after receiving a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation. This donation came while her office was considering joining a fraud investigation led by New York authorities. Bondi's tenure also included ending investigations into companies involved in mortgage fraud and shifting focus away from consumer protection. Critics argue her actions raise serious concerns about her commitment to justice and accountability.
